 Thanks!

 I forgot that we need to freeze blkid version number in e2fsprogs to
 avoid collisions between e2fsprogs and util-linux-ng. Currently the
 blkid version number is shared with e2fsprogs version number. 

 The e2fsprogs blkid should be in maintenance mode only. All development
 should happen in util-linux-ng only. Right?

 This problem should be resolved before util-linux-ng-2.15 stable
 release (-rc2 now).

 (See the patch below -- it's example. I don't know if you want to add
  LIBBLKID_VERSION to the global version.h or something other to
  configure.in, or so...)
